Given that we have to add a "fudge-factor" to get over some obstacles, how do you suggest we accomplish breeching and guaranteeing we don't hit the tower wall? (And no, we don't have the money for an IMU - I tried.)

(FYI - we won't be able to test any of our autos until Thursday this week, robot got bagged before we could.)
854 tested and determined approximately how long it took to get over the more difficult defenses in auto in about 5 minutes total. Then we just adjusted our auto depending on what we were doing.
